When it comes to home insulation, spray foam has many advantages over fiberglass. It’s fast, easy to install, and it’s highly effective. It’s also a great way to reduce energy costs, as it keeps conditioned air trapped in the home, requiring less work from heating and cooling systems.
Spray foam is a popular option because it acts as both insulation and an air sealant, closing the nooks and crannies that let air escape and drive up monthly energy bills. It can also strengthen a building structure.
However, this material can be expensive and requires professional installation to get the best results. It can also expand excessively if not installed correctly, which can cause damage to the roof.

A lack of proper ventilation in a house with spray foam insulation can also be problematic, as moisture and pollutants can be trapped indoors. This can lead to mold development, which is dangerous for human health and costly to remediate.
Additionally, some mortgage providers may refuse to lend money on properties with this insulation if it is identified during a property valuation or survey. Some insurance companies also require a structural survey to be carried out before offering cover. For these reasons, it’s important to accurately calculate the amount of spray foam needed for a project. This can be done by measuring the length and width of walls, ceilings, or floors, multiplying them by the number of square feet, and adjusting for any irregularities.
